UPDATE ON GARY!!!
May 15th Gary was rushed into Tisdale vets with a urinary tract blockage caused by stones and terrible crystals which irritated the lining of his bladder, causing inflamation and pain π₯Ί It also caused Gary to be unable to p*e, which is a life threatening condition.π± If not treated, Gary would die a slow and agonizing death. We couldnt allow that to happen.
Gary had a 5 day vet stay to be medicated, flushed out and should have been good as new... However, despite best efforts, some things dont go as planned, and Gary was NOT anywhere near recovered from the urinary issues he was suffering from.
Shortly after coming back into our care it was evident there were problems. Gary wasn't urinating much and straining to do so when he did try. After leaving the litter box there was a lot of growling (pain) and licking his privates. Gary also refused to eat, which can create all sorts of issues of another nature.
After trying everything including syringe feeding, hydrocare and several different wet and dry foods, he refused to eat anything at all. Gary was then taken to our vets here in Melfort, where he underwent more treatment, tests, IV fluids and a plethora of medications. FINALLY Gary is feeling more like himself.
Gary is now eating, drinking and p*eing normally. He seems much more relaxed and content! Gary is the sweetest guy & he welcomes visitors for some pets and chin scratchies
